Every Color in the Crayon Rainbow
This blog post from 2008 says there are currently 120 colors. I checked the Crayola site for any updates and it's still 120:
Crayola crayons currently come in 120 colors including 23 reds, 20 greens, 19 blues, 14 oranges, 11 browns, 8 yellows, 2 grays, 2 coppers, 2 blacks, 1 white, 1 gold and 1 silver.
